Not been announced yet, but I think they have said they aim to release before end of year previously.

Thanks.

Will it be one DLC or will it be a "content" DLC and a "cosmetic" DLC?

I'm pretty sure the Devs have confirmed it's going to be one combined DLC, as they're not keen on the DLC list growing into the monster that it is for CK2 in a few years time.

 

[BjornB]

It will all be in one DLC this time. We'll try it out and see what the reception is like.

 

[Nevrion]

Uh, is there something wrong with my browser or why is the HOI4 season-pass disappeared on steam? Will there be a new selling model?

 

[Cymsdale]

It will all be in one DLC this time. We'll try it out and see what the reception is like.

Love it. Hate how ridiculous the Steam stores pages look with 20 bajillion DLC.

Thanks for trying this. I really hope it continues this way - I hate having a hundred different DLCs listed.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Totally agree with bundling DLC together. A huge improvement.

 

[Ipsissimus]

I can't find the expansion pass in steam.

 

[Vedinu]

I had to find it with Google

Three DLC´s for minimum 50 Euro?

 

[Pirex]

The season pass is no more on steam??

 

[Pirex]

TY bro! I did the same because it wasn't on steam no more LOL but my google and entering with steam account it is there to purchase. TY once again for the tip!

 

[Pacific_Snafu]

I can't find where to buy the expansion? Do I have to buy the 90$ or 50$ version even though I have the base game?

 

[Pacific_Snafu]

Okay I found it. But do I only need this expansion pass to get all the DLC and expansions? Like things such as the garrison or blitz command?

It would be the 50$. Though be aware it appears that it has been removed from the list on the steam store and to somewhere where it only can be found through Google. That would suggest that it possibly isn't sold anymore. @TinyWiking can you shed some light on whether it's still sold?

The expansion pass gives you access to three expansions. We don't know whether you also get any cosmetic DLC with it, but since apparently everything is bundled in this expansion you appear to get cosmetics at least this time.

I find it decidedly odd that even now, with the release of the dlc less than a week away, it is not at all easy to find it for purchase on the Steam web site. Or impossible.
Of course, it doesn't help that Steam site has one of the stupidest search engines in the entire history of the internet. Imagine having to pull up Google to find something on Steam. But that's not an uncommon experience.

Meanwhile, I have another question. Is there no way at all for an owner of HOI4 to verify what version of the release game is in the library? I cannot find anything that points toward the information.

As mentioned the expansion pass might well have been pulled from sale; would make sense actually given we are close to launch of the first expansion.

With regard to verifying version then try and take a look at the content list of the game, which you can find by scrolling down on the game's page int he steam client. There all content is listed---even things like preorder boni. And since (at least if you pre ordered) you got extra packs for the different tiers you can look and see whether the ones that your tier had, but the lower ones didn't, are present in that content list.
